Buffalo Bills Bold Prediction #4: Both teams don’t combine for more than 40 points

The Buffalo Bills finished last year second in the league in points scored with an average of 31.3 per game while the Pittsburgh Steelers weren’t far behind with an average of 26.0 per game.

However, these are two teams that don’t give up much on the scoreboard, especially when they play each other. Last year, the two teams combined for 41 points with the Bills winning 26-15 and in 2019 the total was only 27 points with the Bills winning 17-10.

This is a game that certainly has the potential to be a shootout with the offenses each team has. However, these are two well-coached teams that specialize on the defensive side of the ball with Sean McDermott and Mike Tomlin coaching the defensive side of the ball before becoming head coaches.
